It took a long while before the sons and daughters of the influence people in the sects finished their awaking.
Finally, it was Xiao Lijuan's turn to go on the stage. Elegantly, she stood up and quickly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Xiao Lijuan was a natural beauty and a very talented girl. From birth, she had caused a strange and powerful phenomenon to occur in the sky and ever since has grown to be very talented.
Even before her awakening, it was obvious she has a very strong affinity with the element of ice and the sect has spent a lot to nature the natural talent of her's.
As the King's child, she might one day rule the Kingdom so everyone had very high expectations of her.
Xiao Lijuan didn't let the stares of the hundreds of people gathered to scare her. She was very much used to the attention and won't shy away from the crowd.
With short steps, Xiao Lijuan arrived at the stage and faced the crystal balls. Calmly, she placed her long fingers on the first crystal and a heavy silence descended.
The crystal ball began to glow and within seconds, it glowed brightly. A gold light washed over the field making people close their eyes. The temperature in the field turned cold and snow flakes appeared causing a magnificent scene.
Her soul talent, affinity and bloodline were all transmitted to the Xiao Chengying who had the ability to read them.
This phenomenon stayed for a few short moments before it disappeared. The stage turned back to normal.
Next, Xiao Lijuan stepped in front of the second crystal and placed her palm on it.
Silence prevailed as the crystal began to glow and open her marginals
pop, pop, pop, pop
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
"Xiao Lijuan ~ SSS class soul talent, heavenly grade elemental soul affinity over ice and slight affinity over water, ice frost elemental bloodline, heavenly grade!!" Xiao Changying exclaimed.
She was just as shock as when she had announced Xiao Delun's results.
The field immediately became noisy again as Xiao Lijuan returned to her seat on the stage.
Xiao Huifen looked at his daughter as she returned to his side. This time, one of his child has taken after his wife. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as well as sadness fill his chest.
Hopefully, this time, things won't end like it did fourteen years ago. This time, he'll do everything in his power to protect her.
However, with the predicament the sect was soon going to encounter, he didn't have any choice than to do that the prophecy had said.
Xiao Lijuan didn't know what was going through her father's mind as she returned to her seat. She could hear Xiao Changying calling Xiao Zhan's name and he got up.
The both passed each other and consequently, they're hands brushed against each other.
Xiao Lijuan hissed and quickly withdraw her hand but Xiao Zhan didn't seem to notice as she continued towards the stage
Xiao Lijuan looked at her hand. Her fair skin look dry, like she had but her hand over extreme heat. It appeared it would have been worst if not for her high affinity with a cold element.
The princess quickly fixed her expression and returned to her seat, hiding her hand in her long sleeve. Thankfully, because of her affinity, her skin was rapidly healing.
Xiao Zhan reached the stage and as he had expected, everyone began whispering, trying to figure out who he was.
Xiao Changying quickly stepped up and introduced him
"This is Xiao Zhan, second son and third child of his Majesty, Xiao Huifen. He has been traveling the world for many years and has only just returned for his awakening" she said
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly
'so that's my story' he taught to himself. It seemed to be very well though out and people won't suspect a thing after all, even the King's first two children were known to very few people. It isn't too surprising that people won't know him either.
Besides, as long as the King had confirmed it, who would dare question his identity? The only question now was why Xiao Lijuan would be the sect leader in the future when she has many elder siblings above her.
"Your highness, please proceed" Xiao Changying said with a small bow after all she wasn't familiar with this person attitude and didn't want to offend him on their first encounter.
Not minding the title, Xiao Zhan turned to the crystals and placed his hand on the first. He gasped loudly as he felt his soul forcefully being torn from his body.
It felt like his soul was being sucked out by an industrial vacuum.
He opened his eyes again in a vest space filled with darkness but lighten up by billions of colorful floating orbs of light.
"Where am I?" He asked himself
From what he heard from Xiao Lijuan, he was supposed to find himself in a wide space like the sky with clouds and stars not in this endless void of darkness.
Xiao Zhan was about to turn around when he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly turned around and was shocked to see a pegacorn. An actual horned pegasus. He couldn't help but take a step back in shock.
The pegacorn raised it's on back legs and flapped it's huge wings creating a burst of wind.
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he saw man with long white hair bright green eyes like that of the pegacorn. The man looked to be in his early twenties and had a well sculptured body giving one the impression that he visited the gym often.
"Who are you?" Xiao Zhan asked the undeniably handsome man in front of him
The man fell to his knee and bowed.
"My Lord" he said in a respectful voice.
Xiao Zhan frowned in confusion. The two of them were the only ones in this vest space and there could be no one else the pegacorn man was referring to.
"Who are you?" Xiao Zhan asked once again
"This servant name is Michæl" The man said with a slight frown
"Where is this place?" He asked looking around again "Am I still on earth?"
Michæl looked at him strangely but replied anyway
"No, my Lord. This the universe that you created years ago. For some reason, my Lord seem to have forgotten and become younger, is everything okay?" He asked
"No" Xiao Zhan decided to act along. "A great calamity befell me years ago and I could only return to my younger body recently. It seems I have forgotten many things too" he said. If this man was a loyal as he seemed, the he shouldn't question this story of his
Michæl nodded in understanding.
"I understand. Then my Lord, I shall help you recover your memories" he said
"Okay but not now. Tell me, how do I leave here? I have matters to attend to on earth" Xiao Zhan asked.
"You only need to wish to leave my lord" Michæl replied.
Xiao Zhan nodded and looked at the floating orbs again. Curiously, he reached out his hand and three black orbs speed towards his and rotated around his hand and when they felt no resistance, directly entered his body.
Xiao Fang was confused but he still need to return back to the real world so he will himself to leave this universe.
His body began to vanish till he was completely gone.
Xiao Zhan opened his eyes again in the real world and he took in a deep breath through his mouth as he felt his soul enter his body again. He looked around only to see the crystal under his palm glow black then explode into a million small pieces.
The whole stage was so quite, one could ear a pin drop.
Black glow!
The King, sect masters and all the elder were on their feet as they stared in shock at the boy on the stage.
Feeling awkward being the center of attention, Xiao Zhan moved to the second crystal and placed his hand on it hoping the sound of his marginals opening will wake everyone from their daze.
This time, nothing strange happened and his marginals opened normally
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
pop, pop, pop,pop, pop
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
